tho proceedings of. a meeting held here on Saturday , General, who shall be required to
last have crowded out much other matter which had
been prepared for this week, but which we deemed
less interesting and important to our readers.
The Governor’s Message we think as a whole, in
able document, marked by an honest intention to
correct whatever may be wrong in our government
and laws. We diffirr from some of the views and
recommendations set forth in the Message, but agree
with most of them. We have not room for comment
this week.
State System of Common Schools.
Is tkero an observing reflecting man in the State,
who has oot seen, felt, and deplored the want of a lib
eral and efficient system of Common School Educa
tion, which, like the ran in the physical world, should
shed intellectual light and knowledge upon every
child of every citizen in the State, without reference
to pecuniary condition 1 The necessity of general
education to the preservation* of our system of Gov
ernment is so generally understood and acknowl
edged, as scarcely to require illustration. It fa ob-
vious that sited has given man his supremacy over
the other creatures and things of the earth, and
his power is in the exact proportion to theproper
tivation and development of the intellectual faculties.!
The youth who grows up in ignorance is not only!
incapable of appreciating and preserving his own!
political rights, but fa liable to be imposed upon by
tho designing, and made the instalment for subvert
ing the rights of others. The citizens of a republic'
who do not provide for the education of the rising!
generation, are deliberately consigning their coun
try and their descendants to despotism in some of its
forms—ignorance and rational liberty are incompa
tible with each other.
We have collected the following facts from the U.
S. Census of Georgia, taken in 1840, for the pur- 1
pose of showing to our Legislators and fellow-citi
zens at one view, the cumulative ignorance, which
seta like an incubus upon the prosperity of the State,
and which, if not remedied by wise and liberal]
Legislative provisions, has doomed us to comini
the “ hewers of wood and drawers of water” for
more enlightened States of the Union.
According to tho census
free white persons in Georgia, over the ago of 20
years, was 163,710, of this number 30,717, (nearly
one fifth part) could neither read or. write. Tbo
number of free white males and females over five
years of age, and under tweniy years, was 162,400.
The whole number of persons who were receiving
instruction at Colleges, Academies, Grammar-
schools, Primary and Common Schools, was 24,061,
leaving nearly 6-7, or 138,339. If we deduct from
